This simple crock pot pork roast is super easy to prepare and cook in the slow cooker, and the sweet sauce adds color and flavor. Use cherry preserves or jam to make the sauce and add a bit of red food coloring for extra color if you like. Or use apricot preserves or pineapple preserves and skip the food coloring. The green onions (scallions) can be replaced with a small chopped onion. The recipe calls for a boneless pork loin (not tenderloin). If you use a boneless pork shoulder roast, increase the cooking time to 7 to 9 hours. The pork roast makes a delicious meal with baked sweet potatoes or rice. For a side vegetable, consider steamed green beans or broccoli. If you serve wine with meals, try pinot noir or an italian red, like chianti. A slightly sweet riesling is a good choice as well.
